All Tradable Non-Tradable
Always looking for JUDY GARLAND (CD/SHN/FLAC or cassette) and other artists in Rochester or upstate NY (CD/SHN/FLAC). Honest, I won't put it on eBay. * ETREE MEMBERS, I will be happy to discuss any trade or B&P (CD/SHN/FLAC). * Others, if you do NOT have your list on ETREE, I will consider your B&P requests, or trades for Judy and Rochester shows. *** My favorite type of material is the true fan recording using portable equipment and lovingly transferred to CD. If you think you have something special, point that out. Use careful trading techniques, especially use EAC for ripping audio CDs. If your material does not match the set list on etree, put that in your etree notes.

ABBA --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
11/15/79	Wembley Arena	cdr	1	A	Decent quality for a large arena, good songs but I wish there were more!

Ani Difranco --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/02/92	Genessee Co-Op	cdr	1	A-	Bonus tracks from Sessions at W 54th, and some tracks are garbled, but the Genesee Co-op tracks are very nice. At least three tracks are from a show that I attended, but Ani signed my cassette tape that night "Happy Birthday Gary", and my birthday is June 27. The mystery continues.

Bangles --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
04/14/03	Melkweg Multimedia Centre	cdr	1	A	Great audio, great show. Some excellent arrangements here. The bridge from 'Mrs. Robinson' is mixed in as the bridge for 'Egyptian', very cool, I hope that wasn't lost on the Dutch crowd. This recording will make you a soldier in the Doll Revolution. Tear it off!

The Beatles --- Approximate Hours: 8.75
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
??/??/39	Artifacts 1 - The Early Years 1958-1963	cdr	1	B	Questionable disk history.
??/??/64	Beatlemania	cdr	1	B	Questionable disk history.
07/01/66	Budokan Hall	cdr	1	B-	The Beatles appeared 5 times at the Nippon Budokan Hall, Daikan-cho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, Japan: once on June 30 and twice each on July 1 and 2, 1966. I don't know which July 1 performance this represents. This recording is quite listenable; crowd noise is not overpowering. The quality of the lads' performance itself is OK, but not stellar. The original provided to me had one long track; I split this into 13 separate tracks (12 songs plus an interview). This recording includes the whole concert, about 30 minutes of music.
08/29/66	Candlestick Park	cdr	1	B-	This recording is historically important, being The Beatles' last live-concert performance, but the sound quality is mediocre. Lots of screaming fans (that's cool), but also audio hiss. The show record mentions Long Tall Sally, but my recording doesn't have that. 10 songs, 25 minutes.
??/??/66	The Psychedelic Years	cdr	1	B	Questionable disk history.
??/??/68	Artifacts 1 - Inner Revolution 1968	cdr	1	B	Questionable disk history.
??/??/69	Get Back To Abbey Road	cdr	1	B	Questionable disk history.

Billie Holiday --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
10/29/51	Storyville	cdr	1	B-	Burned DAO, but tracks are split from three sets (10/29,30,31 - duplicate songs) and each track fades out. Substantial audio garbling, but listenable for true fans. Show record in database is missing some songs, not sure if this is the recording referred to in the comment.

Blue Öyster Cult --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
04/03/72	Nugget's Pizza Parlour	cdr	1	A-	My recording has 4 tunes - WOTT, COFWRnR, TR&TB, BB. I'm a Rochester boy, but I can't find info on this venue, and I find no other shows recorded at this venue. Applause is dubbed in from some other source. Possibly, "Nugget" is not a real venue but is the name of a radio show (WCMF).

Bob Dylan --- Approximate Hours: 10
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/01/65	BBC Studios	flac/cdr	1	B+	Recording session for BBC TV. Clear sound, but hissy and mono-ish. Bob shows a glimpse of actually caring about the audience, unlike my one live concert experience in 2007 in which Bob couldn't care less.
11/15/80	Fox Warfield Theatre	flac/cdr	2	A	Some sort of unreleased recording with pro artwork. Great audio, diverse songs, great band and backup vocals, great crowd interaction. Dylan tries hard to sing, but his voice sucks. Disk is DAO, but not all tracks are continuous.
09/08/99	First American Music Center	flac/cdr	3	A	Traded as a 3 CD set. Paul Simon and band open with pop hits and Paul yells, "Yahoo!" a few times before Bob Dylan appears. Several duets seem planned but unrehearsed. Dylan and band close. Dylan does not yell, "Yahoo" although in Bob's defense, some vocal audience members sound like they'd rather see Jeff Foxworthy. Reviewers justify Bob's unusual voice as somehow supportive of his legendary songwriting, but Bob's voice is simply lousy.
10/09/07	Gordon Fieldhouse	cdr/flac	2	A-	As a performer, Dylan is a great songwriter. No crowd interaction, unremarkable band, and Dylan's voice sucks. Maybe I just don't get it.

Bruce Springsteen --- Approximate Hours: 23.75
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
12/02/80	War Memorial	cdr	3	B+	Fine recording for its age. One of four Rochester appearances.
05/03/88	Shoreline Amphitheatre	cdr	3	A	Great show, great quality.
11/19/99	Marine Midland Arena	cdr	3	B-	Questionable disk history.
12/17/00	Convention Hall	cdr	2	B+	Seasons greetings.
03/11/03	Blue Cross Arena	cdr	3	A	The original track layout has fades in the middle of disks. I have this as well as an alternative track layout that puts the fades at the start and end of each disk. One of four Rochester appearances.
09/20/03	Six Flags Darien Lake Performing Arts Center	cdr	3	C	Overpoweringly high recording level, quite distorted, maybe an alternate recording. Not received through serious trading channels.
10/06/05	Blue Cross Arena	cdr	2	A-	A very nice audience recording, some appropriate crowd noise. This is from The Boss's solo tour. One of four Rochester appearances.

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
03/06/08	Blue Cross Arena	cdr/flac	2	A-	I think mid-size venues are harder for ticket buyers to get into, and that weeds out the less enthusiastic fans, so we're left with a killer crowd. Bruce hammed it up when revealing the audience poster asking for "Rosalita", and the reaction blew the roof off. At the show and on the CD, the sound seems too treble-ish, but overall it's a good recording. One of four Rochester appearances.

Chet Atkins --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
??/??/83	Unknown	cdr	1	A	Can't beat the quality when someone copies an LP. Nice show from a legend, but you won't jump out of your seat.

Curtis Mayfield --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
??/??/71	The Bitter End	CDR	1	A-	I received a TAO version and edited the tracks to be DAO. This show date is not long after the MLK assassination and Curtis sings and talks about social issues. Includes Superfly bonus from Chicago TV, 1973. Re-issued in 2000 and not tradeable.

Dean Martin --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
02/04/64	Sands Hotel	cdr	1	B+	Very listenable, but occasional audio imperfections and hiss. Track transitions are smooth except one, but starting positions were carelessly set. Track 1 is 13 seconds of silence, but it's in the ETREE database, so we include it. Lorne Greene and Kate Smith in the audience.

Elvis Costello --- Approximate Hours: 5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
11/23/86	Royalty Theater	flac/cdr	2	B-	The show is fantastic, as usual for these guys. The recording is from "BBC transcription disks", whatever that means. The audio is warbly and slightly faster than real time.
10/09/07	Gordon Fieldhouse	flac/cdr	1	A-	Elvis solo, opening for Bob Dylan (Dylan not on this recording). Great set list and passionate performances, but first two songs were not recorded.
10/22/07	Fox Theatre	flac/cdr	1	A-	Elvis solo, opening for Bob Dylan (Dylan not on this recording). Crowd seems a little weak. Audio sounds like it's in a big arena.

Elvis Costello & Clover --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
11/08/07	Great American Music Hall	flac/cdr	2	A	Great audio, very unique setlist, in-depth monologues from Elvis.

Elvis Presley --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/10/72	Madison Square Garden	cdr	1	A-	Good mix of Elvis hits and covers. Minor non-fixable digital garble on track 21, otherwise good audio.
03/18/74	Richmond Coliseum	cdr	1	A	Audio quality is fine, but the songs seem rushed, and Elvis is very goofy in spots. The crowd has good moments, but isn't a very lively crowd. Backup singer JD Summer sings lower notes than any human has ever sung. Set list from NYC in 1972 is better.

Emmylou Harris --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/15/79	The Catalyst	cdr	1	A	This version taped from a radio show. The set list is close to the one posted on etree, but not exact, email me if you need this. I won't edit etree because maybe someone has the recording that was played on the radio (rather than this tape from the radio show).

Frank Sinatra --- Approximate Hours: 7.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/09/57	Seattle Civic Auditorium	cdr	1	A	A couple tracks have some digital pops, otherwise very nice.
06/14/58	The Sporting Club	flac/cdr	1	A	Apparently an OOP Quincy Jones album, great audio. 40 minutes, mostly typical songs, but "Mandalay" is unusual. Frank is excellent and does an encore for Princess Grace. Overdubbed briefly by an Italian female, so the history of this recording is unclear.
09/06/63	The Sands	cdr	1	A	9 days after MLK's march on Wash DC, Frank & Dean fun with Sammy. Booze and off-color jokes. Duplicate of other 9/6/63 shows.
05/22/68	Oakland Coliseum	cdr	1	A	Bonus track from 1960 Las Vegas benefit for Jack Kennedy. Original had split second of applause at start of each track, followed by split second of silence, followed by remainder of track. I manually deleted silent part to produce smooth transition from track to track.
06/10/77	The Sabre Room	cdr	1	A	A classic mid-career night club show (unusual since it was not in Vegas) with a plastered Dean and a hip Frank. Typical music, but off-color, drunken humor you won't find on any commercial release. Turn out the lights, you'll think you're in the room with the crowd. Duplicate of other 6/10/77 show.
04/20/93	War Memorial	cdr	1	B	Late-career audience recording, from cassette, DAO. Flashes of brilliance, but also flashes of off-key singing, bad jokes, and that out-of-control Jersey-Italian accent. "One for my Baby" is nice.

Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/10/77	The Sabre Room	cdr	1	A	A classic late-career night club show (unusual since it was not in Vegas) with a plastered Dean and a hip Frank. Typical music, but off-color, drunken humor you won't find on any commercial release. Turn out the lights, you'll think you're in the room with the crowd. Duplicate of other 6/10/77 show.

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin & Sammy Davis Jr. --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/06/63	The Sands	cdr	1	A	9 days after MLK's march on Wash DC, Frank & Dean fun with Sammy. Booze and off-color jokes. Duplicate of other 9/6/63 shows.

Gary Gocek --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/17/94	Sunken Room Coffeehouse	cdr	1	B	If you really think you want this show, let me know, it will be a freebie. I do not have any Jazzabels boots.
06/19/98	Catacombs Coffee House	cdr	1	B	If you really think you want this show, let me know, it will be a freebie.

George Harrison & Eric Clapton --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
12/05/91	Kokusai-Hall	cdr	2	A	"Fourth Night Live", includes tracks from a show in Tokyo on 1991-Dec-17.

Gillian Welch & David Rawlings --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/27/97	Catawba Valley Arts & Science Center	cdr	2	A	Excellent audio quality, excellent performances of excellent songs. Lots of banjo tuning between songs, I guess that's why we like live shows.

The Icicle Works --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
12/20/86	Royal Court	cdr	2	B	Popular in northern England, then got big break when 'Birds Fly' was used as the closing theme for the movie 'Scream'. This recording seems to be in a night club, background hiss, but very listenable. This is a real fan treasure, with the band harmonizing 'White Christmas' for a crowd that has been drinking all night, and other classic moments.

Ike & Tina Turner Revue --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
01/30/71	L'Olympia Theatre	cdr	1	A	What a cool, cool, show. Ike breaks a guitar string, how cool is that? Tina is hot!

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
08/30/06	New York State Fair	cdr	1	B	It took a while for Joan and the crowd to get cranking. If she put the words of Riddles to the music of Fetish, she'd have a great song. State Troopers kept order until the encore, then there was a big rush to the front, and that seemed to wake Joan up. Overall a fun show from a pioneer of punk.

John Mellencamp --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
03/04/88	Chantilly Ballroom - The Anatole Hotel	cdr	1	A-	Essentially a greatest-hits show at an event where John seems to know some audience members. Audio quality is great for tracks 1-11; tracks 12-13 have a couple very MINOR digital glitches. Track 14 is an acoustic bonus track of unknown origin, but my recording has major digital glitches and the track is almost unlistenable.

Judy Garland --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
04/23/61	Carnegie Hall	cdr	2	A	There are multiple versions of this show in the field, some of audiophile quality. This is a liberated boot of very high quality. Monster set list. Harold Arlen in the audience. Rowdy rich people who would applaud if only she would sing "Over the Rainbow" 26 times.

Kasey Chambers --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
03/05/01	The Ark	cdr	2	A-	Great show, recording level is low so you have to crank the volume, then a guitar chord blows our your windows.

The Kennedys & The Nields --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
07/23/99	Falcon Ridge Folk Festival main stage	cdr or shn	2	B	See comments in master show record.

Les Paul --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
10/17/05	XM Radio	cdr	1	A-	Les's insights on the recording industry he created are too cool to miss.

Liverpool HS (NY/USA) --- Approximate Hours: 10
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/01/72	Liverpool vicinity	avi	1		Marching band. Converted from 8mm home movies with no audio to VHS, then to AVI. Not great quality, but 1970s video is rare. About 15 minutes total.
11/01/72	Liverpool HS aud.	cdr	1	A	Concert Band. Nicely transferred from vinyl, if you care about this recording, you will be satisfied with the audio.
11/02/72	Liverpool HS aud.	cdr	1	A	Stage Band. Nicely transferred from vinyl, if you care about this recording, you will be satisfied with the audio.
11/01/73	Liverpool HS aud.	cdr	1	A	Stage Band. Nicely transferred from vinyl, if you care about this recording, you will be satisfied with the audio.
04/25/74	Liverpool HS aud.	cdr	1	B	Rock Ensemble. Transferred from cassette. Dan D names each student musician.
04/25/74	Liverpool HS aud.	cdr	1	B+	Stage Band. Transferred from cassette. Audio for stage band portion is better than rock ensemble portion. Don Lohr names each student musician. There were 2 cassettes for this show, I have the rock ensemble cassette which has only a portion of the stage band show.
03/15/75	Liverpool HS cafeteria	cdr	1	A	Symphonic Band. Nicely transferred from vinyl, if you care about this recording, you will be satisfied with the audio.
12/05/75	Eastman Theatre	cdr	1	A	Symphonic Band. Nicely transferred from vinyl, if you care about this recording, you will be satisfied with the audio.

The Mamas & The Papas --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/18/67	Monterey County Fairgrounds	cdr	1	A	With all the rock bands that could have brought down the house, the choice of the M's and P's to close the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival seems odd, and this is verified by the mellow band's choice to use a cover tune to end the show. But these were the definitive flower children in the heart of flower-land at the height of flower power, and the recording quality is excellent. Just seven songs, though.

Mary Chapin Carpenter --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/29/03	Kate Wolf Memorial Festival	cdr	2	A	Duplicate of Shawn Colvin show.

Meat Loaf --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
11/28/77	The Bottom Line	cdr	1	B	Audible microgaps between tracks, otherwise a great recording of a high energy show (a radio simulcast). The applause between songs was not recorded in full and some tracks begin or end abruptly. Possibly, the missing moments were commercials.
09/18/93	Hudson Theatre	cdr	1	A	Great rock and roll, great musicianship, great audio quality. Nothing makes you want to commit suicide like 79+ minutes of Meatloaf music.

Neil Finn --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
01/24/01	Cold Live At The Chapel (tv taping)	cdr	1	A-	A typical broadcast recording with track separations due to commercial breaks. Neil Finn of Crowded House sings a mostly acoustic set of mellow but upbeat tunes and a very lively version of 'Those Were The Days', with some joking around with pals.

Pat Benatar --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
11/06/79	Agora Ballroom	cdr	1	A-	Really good audio, not superb, just turn it up really loud and stare at a photo of Pat, you'll think you're in the club. Listen for Pat's joke at which no one laughs.

Patsy Cline --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
07/29/61	Cimarron Ballroom	cdr	1	A	Two sets on one disk, so we get "Fall to Pieces" twice. Patsy returns to work following an auto accident, and she jokes about women drivers and describes her injuries. Audio quality for set 1 is superb; set 2 is very good but a little harsh, as if the taper moved too close to the amps.

Paul McCartney --- Approximate Hours: 3.75
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
04/13/02	Air Canada Centre	cdr	3	B-	Questionable disk history. "Yeah baby" crowd noise. I stripped 2-sec gaps from the source provided to me. Worthwhile because of the rare tour performance of "Mull of Kintyre".

Paul Simon --- Approximate Hours: 3.75
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/08/99	First American Music Center	flac/cdr	3	A	Traded as a 3 CD set. Paul Simon and band open with pop hits and Paul yells, "Yahoo!" a few times before Bob Dylan appears. Several duets seem planned but unrehearsed. Dylan and band close. Dylan does not yell, "Yahoo" although in Bob's defense, some vocal audience members sound like they'd rather see Jeff Foxworthy. Reviewers justify Bob's unusual voice as somehow supportive of his legendary songwriting, but Bob's voice is simply lousy.

Queen --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
05/15/85	Osaka Castle Hall	cdr	2	B+	Some bonus tracks from an unknown live concert.

The Rat Pack --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
09/06/63	The Sands Hotel	cdr	1	A	9 days after MLK's march on Wash DC, Frank & Dean fun with Sammy. Booze and off-color jokes. Duplicate of other 9/6/63 shows.
06/10/77	The Sabre Room	cdr	1	A	A classic mid-career night club show (unusual since it was not in Vegas) with a plastered Dean and a hip Frank. Typical music, but off-color, drunken humor you won't find on any commercial release. Turn out the lights, you'll think you're in the room with the crowd. Duplicate of other 6/10/77 show.

Reckless Kelly --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
01/14/05	Billy Bob's	cdr	2	B+	Great setlist. Mediocre drummer, IMHO. If you're a big fan, you'll like the crowd noise, otherwise you'll be very annoyed by the woman who keeps screaming of her love for David. Recording quality is decent, a few very minor glitches.

Rufus Wainwright --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
10/04/01	Ovens Audiotorium	cdr	1	B	Audience tape, fluctuating volume and crowd noise. Rufus opened for Tori Amos, this CD only has Rufus.

Shawn Colvin --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/29/03	Kate Wolf Memorial Festival	cdr	2	A	Duplicate of Mary Chapin Carpenter show. The arrangements are extremely mellow; they managed to replace all of Springsteen's teststerone with estrogen during Dancing in the Dark. Crazy banter between songs. Greg Brown impersonations, jokes about migraines, impromptu version of Smoke On The Water. Excellent audio.

Steel Mill --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
01/18/71	D'Scene	cdr	2	B+	A decent recording of pre E-Street Band Springsteen at a night club.

Susan Tedeschi --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/26/99	The Pier	cdr	2	A-	Some minor track transition goofs and radio show stuff, otherwise great audio. 2nd disk has radio interviews and radio studio performances with Susan. She's surprisingly goofy and giggly, considering her amazing blues talent. Backed by Double Trouble on 1st CD.

Tom Jones --- Approximate Hours: 2.5
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
06/25/05	Greek Theatre	cdr	2	A	Nice recording of a guy who is more fun than you expect.

Townes Van Zandt --- Approximate Hours: 1.25
Show Date	Venue	Media Type	Media Count	Sound Quality	Notes
05/06/78	Mariah Coffeehouse, MI University	cdr	1	A	Sound quality mostly excellent, a bit of hum at start. Great setlist and a classic casual TvZ, several goofy jokes, some intonation problems, but you'll love this show even if you're not a huge fan. Disk is DAO but audio between a few tracks is missing.
